Physical Therapy is a rehabilitation health career field that prevents, identifies, corrects and alleviates acute or prolonged movement dysfunction of anatomic or physiologic origin. Working in conjunction with physicians and other health care professionals, Physical Therapists and Physical Therapy Assistants are valuable members of the health care team, trained to improve movement and function, relieve pain and expand mobility potential. Through evaluation and treatment programs, physical therapists can help existing problems and provide preventative health care for adults and children with a variety of needs.
Occupational Therapy is a health and rehabilitation profession designed to help people regain and build skills of daily living that are important for health, well being, security and happiness. Occupational Therapists and Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants work with people of all ages who, because of physical, developmental, cognitive or emotional deficits need specialized assistance in learning skills to enable them to lead independent, productive and satisfying lives.
